IMPROVEMENT IN TOILET-M IRROR AND OTHER FRAMES.

The Schedule referred4 to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all whom it l:mty concern:

Be it known that we, EDWARD P. WILLIAMS, of Elizabeth, in the county ofUnion and State of New Y Jersey, and GEORGE H. CHINNOCK, of the city,4county, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Methodof Making Toilet-mirror and other similar Frames; and we do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof', reference being had to the accompanying dra-wing making a partol' this specification. Figure 1 is a front view of a toilet-mirror orother similar frame.

Figure 2 is a sectional view.

Figure 3 is a back View of a toilet-mirror frame.

Figure 4 is a sectional view of several. layers of veneeiing. A

Like letters in the different figures of the drawing indicate likeparts.

Our invention consists of a. mirror-frame made of wood, formed by gluingtogether thin layers .with the grain arranged transversely, the framesbeing afterward cut out by scroll-saws, and the groove formed in alatbewith a turners chisel, and then eut apart in one place, to insert theglass and back. l

We take a suitable number of thin layers of wood, c c a, say three ormore, as the size ofthe frame may require, and -glne them together; withthe grain of each alternate layer arranged transversely. The whole isthen put into a clamp, and kept-there awhile until the glue has becomebard, when the frame A is cnt out by a scroll-saw to the size and shapede# sired.

lt -is then placed in a lathe, and the groove B formed by a turneioschisel, after which one end is cut through witha fine saw* at C, and theglass and back inserted in the groove, by springing apart the ends oneither side of the cut,;and then gluing them together.

In case the glass should accidentally get broken at any time, by puttingthe glued end in warm water, to soften the glue, the ends rn'ay beeasily worked apart Vand a newl glass inserted, the ends being gluedtogether again.. ,w

lBy Vthis method of'securing the glass' and back in the frame we are`enabled to accomplish itwith less frames may be conveniently removedand cleaned at.

any time. v Having thus fully described our invention, l

`What we claim therein as new, and de sire to Isecure by Letters Patent,is-

The toilet-mirror frame, when made of different layers of wood, arrangedand glued together as described, the groove being formedl and the framecut apart to admit -the glass and back, and then secured together, allsubstantially as described.

As evidence that we claim the foregoing as our invention, we havehereunto set our hands in the presence of two witnesses.
